− | This is a test for a platform for collaboration between federal departments on issues relating to large-scale electrification modeling. | + | This is a space for sharing knowledge about large-scale electrification modeling and related efforts occuring within the federal government. |
| + | |
| + | === Background === |
| + | There are several different federal departments that work on different aspects of large-scale electrification modeling. While they share similar goals, they have different pathways, programs, policies and R&D. |
| + | |
| + | In late 2018, a need was identified to build up Canadian capacity to carry out large-scale electrification modelling studies similar to that performed for Pan-Canadian Wind Integration Study (PCWIS), RESCI and North American Renewable Integration Study (NARIS). From there CanmetENERGY-Varennes (CEV) held a workshop in February 2019 on creating an open modelling platform for deep decarbonisation studies attended by NRCan, ECCC, and public stakeholders. That summer, the [https://emi-ime.ca/ Energy Modeling Initiative] (EMI) was created with funding from REED (NRCan) with the goal of creating (1) an inventory of Canadian expertise and (2) a 10 year plan for developing Canadian capacity to model electrification. A need was then identified to provide a coordinated government response to the EMI call<ref>citation needed</ref> |

| + | Targets for 2050 |
| + | * Net-zero buildings |
| + | * Net-zero communities |
| + | * Decarbonization of the economy focusing on electrification |
| + | * New and disruptive technologies and fuels to contribute to deep decarbonization |
| + | * Fully grid integrated distributed energy resources (renewables, flexible loads, storage, etc.) |
| + | * An electric grid supporting a deeply decarbonized economy |
| + | * Decarbonization of the transportation sector |
| + | |
| + | == Purpose == |
| + | The purpose of the Federal Family Working Group on Electrification is to foster intra and inter-departmental relationships on activities relating to large-scale electrification modeling. This greater understanding of the federal electrification modeling ecosystem will hopefully generate more endogenous co-creation and science & policy integration. |
